Hi, we do have some big problems with one of our RHEL3 (running the latest updates) Servers. Since last week the systemload increases within two or three days up to 60! and no cronjobs are done anymore, they hang. The jobs are the usual systemjobs (make-whatis, updatedb for slocate) and our backupscript which worked fine for the last two years. Furthormore some servises hang, e.g. NetAtalk (appletalk fileservises), ssh login and local login. For example Samba still works fine. If I reboot the server, all jobs will be killed and for one or two days the load is not above 1 and all servises are fine, crond ass well. Restarting or killing the crond and the cronjobs fail too. Any troubleshooting hints? googling didn't helped so far and there are no usable logmessages :-( Thanks a lot and best regards Götz Reinicke -- Götz Reinicke IT Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 420 Fax +49 7141 969 55 420 mailto:goetz.reinicke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg Mathildenstr. 20 71638 Ludwigsburg http://www.filmakademie.de/
